Guzmania 
(Guzmania lingulata)

Guzmania forms funnel-shaped rosettes of glossy, smooth leaves in various shades of green and red.  The striking blooms may last for several months.

Light
Place in medium (bright to bright indirect) light of east or west window.

Water
Keep evenly moist and humid at all times.  Fill rosette of leaves with water.  Mist frequently; set pot on tray filled with moist pebbles.

Temperature
Maintain temperatures in high 70s, if possible.  Average temperatures OK.

Comments
Use light, porous growing medium.  Spray medium and foliage with dilute fertilizer monthly during active growth.  Plant often dies back after bloom, but forms offsets at its base.  Plant offsets for a new brood of exotic bromeliads.
